Stockholm, Sept 16. After confer

contrary that a date. Will be fixed as
soon as passport difficulties are over

convinced that the working classes of

Washington, Sept. 17. Sites have
been chosen tentatively in nineteen
cities for the great "reconstruction"
hospitals in which the United States
will begin the work of re-habilitating
for private life its soldiers who re
turn wounded from the front in Eu
rope. The cities, selected as the
largest centers of population, were
announced tonight by Major General
Gorgas, surgeon-general of the army,
as follows: ,
Boston, New York, Philadelphia
Baltimore, "Washington, Buffalo. Cin
cinnati. Chicago. St. Paul. Seattle. San
Francisco, Los Angeles, Denver, Kan
sas City. St Louis. Memphis. Rich
mond, Atlanta and New prleans.
ine hospitals at Boston, New York,
Washington and Chicago probably
will be the first built. They will have
500 beds, with provision for doubling
their capacity if necessary.
New Point of View.
'The whole conception of govern
mental and national responsibility for
caring for the wounded," said General
Gorgas in making the announcement,
"has undergone radical change during
the months of study given the subject
by experts serving with the medical
officers' reserve corps and others. con
sulting with them.
"Instead of the old idea that respon
sibility ended with the return of the
soldier to private life with his wounds
healed and such pension as he might
be given, it is now considered that it
is the duty of the government to
equip and re-educate the wounded
man, after healing his wounds, and
to return him to civil life ready to
be as useful to himself and his coun
try as possible. !
"When the soldiers are able to take
up industrial training, further , pro
vision will be ready. The injured
man may be retrained to his previous
occupation to conform with his hand
icapped condition or retrained for a
new industry compatible with the
condition. Additional education will
be given to those fitted for it and men
may in some cases be returned to
more valuable work than that from
which they were called to war. Workshops-
will be provided at the hos
pitals, but arrangements will also be
made with outside industries whereby
more elaborate methods of training
may be carried on. '
Orthopedic Surgeons Added.
"Orthopedic (prevention of deform-
ity) surgeons will be attached to the
medical force near the firing line and
to the different hospitals back to the
base orthopedic hospital which will
be established within 100 miles of the
firing line. In this hospital, in addi
tion to orthopedic surgical care, there
will be equipment for surgical recon
struction work and "curative work
shops" in which men will acquire
ability to use injured members while
doing work interesting and useful in
itself.
"It is not the intention that men
able to go back to the firing line shall
be returned to this country unless
their convalescence will extend over
a period of a considerable number of
months. Soldiers unable to return to
duty will be sent to the reconstruc
tion hospitals in the United States."
